UK to cut students visa's by 25%

For those planning to go and study in the united kingdom for a degree, there has been a new development. The united kingdom is going to reduce the number of non EU students going into to the uk for studies i.e those from countries not in the European union.
The home secretary for the united kingdom Theresa May disclosed that there will also be tougher English language requirements for people wanting to go to the UK for studies, tougher rules for post study work and restrictions on dependants. More so only those that have job offers will be able to remain in the uk after graduation.
She said further that the measures would cut student visas by between 70,000 and 80,000.
The measures would help increase the number of students who leave Britain on completion of their courses, May added.
NAN reports that the crackdown is part of Prime Minister David Cameron’s drive to bring immigration down by 2015.
